Harmony element root in mscx file is a number but why?

[PogiAbel]

When I open an mscx fiel as an xml, the harmony element looks like this:
<Harmony> <root>18</root> <rootCase>1</rootCase> </Harmony>

However in the documentation it should be a pitch name and not a number. Does someone know how this number represent the pitch, because I can't figure it out.

.mscx is the MuseScore file format, not MusicXML. You will need to consult whatever documentation MuseScore provides for its file format, but I don’t believe it has anything in common with MusicXML (other than being XML-based).

Thank you, I will try to not save it as an mscx file rather export to musicxml.
